McDonald's

There is really no place like McDonald's Playplace to reassure a person how wonderful and normal your own child and family is!!!! I just watched a little boy attack and bite the playplace employee when she told him he couldn't stand on a chair.... Wow!!!! Then go back after her later, and apparently mom didn't see this as any reason to discipline?!!

Though Cason finds so much joy in all the new friends he meets there! His friend Jasmine was thrilled to see her "buddy" when we ran into her! He really is already a popular little person, and I'm so proud! (and not just because of what I have witnessed at McDonald's)!!!!!

Merry Christmas

We've had a very Merry Christmas and I hope this year has brought as many smiles and laughter into your home as it did ours. Merry Christmas to you and may 2009 bring love, laughter and more happy memories!

Jimmy Wayne & Gary Allan in Concert

We had such a great time Sunday night!! We went to dinner at Newt’s, which is always so delicious. Then, we made our way to the Civic Center. We ran into quite a few people we knew and the concert was GREAT! I even got my picture taken with Jimmy Wayne!

Busy Weekend Ahead!

We have a busy, but fun weekend ahead! I am off tomorrow and got some house projects I am going to tackle. We have Elisa overnight on Friday night (can’t wait). And, Katilyn has a birthday party on Friday evening. Saturday, we are going to go watch JM wrestle and Cason has a play date in Plainview. Saturday night is Diane’s tap performance, which I can not wait to see! Sunday night is Gary Allen for Troy and I, so Cason gets to spend the night with Grandma!

Busy, Busy, Busy… but, we will definitely enjoy this weekend!

Cute Kid Stories

Cute story... last night we were getting ready to put up the nativity scene and the kids were helping me. I was reading on the boxes what we were opening and I got to the one that said "nativity." (As most of you know, Cason loves Jesus, stories about Jesus etc very much). I said, "Cason, this one says "Nativity" do you know who would be in this one?" "No, who?" he replied. And, I said, "Well who is Christmas all about?" And, he looked at me so honestly and said "Santa Clause!" :) (I must add his next guess was the Baby Jesus, though......)

And, this made me think of one more.... the kids were getting ready to decorate the tree and I had a bunch of our ornaments laid out so the kids could grab them and hang them where they pleased. Katilyn grabbed one that must have been of Baby Jesus and said, "Here Cason, you should hang this one because you love God so much!"

I love their innocence! :)

And the last of them...

I jsut couldn't pick which ones to post. So you get them all. Ok, if you know me, there's still more... but these were my fav's. :)

More pics from last post

Here are a few more pics....

Weekend & Wrestling

I wanted to share some pictures from the weekend and last night. I had a great weekend! I spent Friday night with some friends at Dueling Pianos and we had a ball! Saturday, mom and I spent the day shopping in Red Wing and you can see we ran into a very special somebody. We had a great day and got more Christmas shopping done.

Troy surprised me and came home early from his hunting weekend, so he was home Saturday night when I got back from Red Wing. It was so nice to have him home early! We spent Sunday putting up Christmas decorations. (That’s why our living room looks like a disaster in some of the pics of Cason, still a work in progress as we had to wait for the kids to finish up).

Last night, Cason had his first wrestling practice. It was so fun to watch him and as you can see, he’s ADORABLE in his uniform. Troy and Cason had fun last night practicing after we got home as Troy taught him a few moves. And, Cason seems to be catching on pretty quick to the whole concept. Gotta love those WRESTLERS!!!
